My pitch isn't acute but you're not going to play an "E" and tell me it's Ab. No sir.
It helps becasue I can write my music without a keyboard but I can't necessarily hear clusters. I can hear chord changes when I'm soloing.

Upon hearing the first note, I said to myself, "not another piece in C minor." Then after listening more, I said, this has a lot to offer. My biggest gripe it the lack of counterpoint and it ends too soon. Develop this some more. With what you have, this piece could be at least 5 minutes longer.

I must say @Ken320 I loved the jazz chords. Three things: score needs rehearsal numbers. 2)some parts I believe should have more counterpoint. I get why you didn't but let the hopeless romantic have a conversation. 3)no trombone!?!? grrrrrrr

this piece is catchy. That's a great thing. My biggest gripe is where is the counterpoint in the first two minutes? You have these beautiful melodic lines but no support for it.
Meas. 15: If you are going to consider that a counterpoint, mp is not going to cut for the piccolo and flute. That range is NOT going to project over the orchestra.
Just a few thoughts
